Although in the case of Iraq, meddlesome neighbors, al Qaeda and the US presence helped fuel the chaos, in North Africa, the biggest threat is the tumultuous change that the region is experiencing. The fall of Mubarak, Ben Ali and Qaddafi means that these once tightly controlled states are now subject to less secure borders, and likely, less experienced security personnel.&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;"> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">The US in conjunction with NATO, as a main supporters of the rebellion against Qaddafi's regime, need to impress upon the new government that acts of retribution, or revenge cannot be long tolerated, and further push it to establish institutions and mechanisms through which both rebels, and former regime backers can press their claims and get redress for any unjust actions committed against them.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">Update:&nbsp; Libya asks NATO to stay until the end of the year. Having NATO stay means that the interim government is signalling to its opponents, as well as allies of convenience that the big gun is staying put, giving them some breathing room to maneuver and work towards consolidating power. At the same time, it should help give NATO some measure of influence to push the interim government to address the reprisal attacks, and prevent the rise of a new insurgency.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10919292080793445660noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12201465.post-80495854708327283372011-05-02T01:17:00.001-04:002011-05-02T01:18:54.179-04:00A picture worth a thousand words<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVHWQqukST7DXNWr0_SrfJVuIBf9thRNOfgGOQKdXbKsmp1Fm9moarUXlhz696z25nUKizJg-o-7ik1klS4LXqO0IaKoqSAZLUpQptY8Qq8icABzaxZb3YAzeehBTOX7sTNB5j/s1600/mQSGw4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="184" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVHWQqukST7DXNWr0_SrfJVuIBf9thRNOfgGOQKdXbKsmp1Fm9moarUXlhz696z25nUKizJg-o-7ik1klS4LXqO0IaKoqSAZLUpQptY8Qq8icABzaxZb3YAzeehBTOX7sTNB5j/s400/mQSGw4.jpg" /></a></div> <a href="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2011/05/02/world/02binladen4_683/02binladen4_683-custom11.jpg">Via NYTimes</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10919292080793445660noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12201465.post-14510656119061816792010-12-14T11:55:00.001-05:002010-12-14T11:56:18.649-05:00Getting in touch with my artistic side<p><span style="float:left;color:#353954;font-size:60px;line-height:50px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">S</span>o, recently I've begun designing clocks for an Android App called Fancy Widget. The dev was kind enough to allow for easy customization, and for providing a market where the skins could be downloaded.
